Ombinda has it with Perkasie Heliport home of Carson Helicopters.
The largest S61/SH-3 refurbishing company.
They produce carbon fiber blades and can install a glass cockpit.

This one of the few locations where it is likely that S-61 hulks can be found.
But it also gives me some thoughts about which parts of a crashed and salt water submerged helicopter you can safely reuse and sell which makes it worthwhile to ship the whole carcass to the USA.

I would say so.

Not much in the way of guttering or downpipes so either VERY wet or pretty dry...

lets say dry?

Ouch, a bit harsh Ombinda!
Sometimes our friend A56 needs a little help, like maybe checking out your username…

Looks like a nice spot.

I hadn't checked his/her name TBH :uhoh: - but I'd noticed a rather Africa-centred selection................

Some people post a lot of small UK fields, Bear is worldwide but likes NW Europe, I42 is a Canada/Far east fan...................

Yes, I'm a globe trotter - Canada in the summer, Vietnam to get away from the Prairie winter! :)​​​​​​​

Great photos. I'm going to go for one of the obvious candidates... Tashkent?
